mSATA FAQ: A Basic Primer

[Thors.Hammer]

LoanWolf, IDK if I am blind but cannot see a place to PM you. Would love it if your signature said 128GB MyDigitalSSD mSATA and willing to send you one for review. They are the best price/performance mSATA SSD on the market and they live up to their name made in Taiwan by the 2nd largest IC chip manufacturer in the world and we are about to announce huge price drop to increase demand and sales. I would love to share more please PM me.

When? What retailers in the USA will be carrying them?

They are in stock here

mSATA Solid State Drives | My Digital Discount

Pricing has been changed as of around 1 hour ago.

32GB was $79.99 now $67.99, 64GB was $139.99 now $124.99, and the 128GB was $279.99 now $239.99.

Practically giving them away at these prices I hope someone posts it on slick deals. I just want them to take off. I know how solid of a product they are and I am not afraid to ship them to professionals for review. The manufacturing and performance of these drives is top quality.

FYI, as more retailers sign on I will be updating the list on www.MyDigitalSSD.com We just signed on a retailer in Japan yesterday. I have yet to update the site with the info but will do so soon. Talking to memoryc in the UK now as well. For all you UK people email memoryc and tell them to carry our SSD.

I guess I have good timing, I just bought a MyDigitalSSD 64Gig Msata at about midnight last night off Amazon (showed as last one in stock). I justed ordered a T420S a couple of days ago and look forward to trying out the pair together.

Wow, that's pretty good pricing. My Intel 310 80gb cost ~$190 and doesn't work in my x220. I'd pay the extra money for the 128gb if I knew it definitely would work. Do you know if the mSATA problems the x220 is having is related to the Intel drives specifically or if it's all mSATA?

Why is the Intel 310 not working in your x220? Anybody else having problems?

Is it true that you can't use mSATA SDD as the boot drive?

That is not true. You can use the Intel Series 310 mSATA drive as a boot drive.

More mSATA Drives are in route to MyDigitalDiscount. The 128GB will be out of stock very soon as well. If you want one shipped today you had better order it right now.

But more will be there for Monday/Tuesday time frame.

The MyDigitalSSD mSATA does work as a boot drive in the x220 and here is a review about it.

MyDigitalSSD mSATA SSD - 64gb in X220

Also see the tweaktown review posted earlier in this thread Chris from TT uses it in a Lenovo computer and states.

"We cloned the existing drive to our MDD Bullet Proof and the user experience went from miserable to mesmerizing. Anyone who is used to the SSD feel will have a difficult time going back to a spinner and users coming from spinners to SSDs are amazed at the performance offered and the enhanced user experience that comes with instant actions."

On another note: I personally don't think that any average to above average user is going to ever be able to notice a difference between a Renice, Intel or MyDigitalSSD during use in their notebook. I say this because you are going from a super slow spinner and will see an improvement of around 30X in 4K speeds and in my opinion you will not notice a diff between going 30X faster and 50X faster. The only place you would ever notice a diff is in sustained speeds when transferring very large files from a super high speed USB 3.0 Drive or the like but the MyDigitalSSD is not lacking in sustained speeds at all.

Huge thread about it here:

And it's not limited to i7 with USB3. I've got an i5-2520. There's also a big thread on the Lenovo forum about it here:
